Complaining about overtime
A: You won’t believe who’s been elected to do overtime on the Baker account! Me! I’ve already logged in 20 hours of overtime!
B: Wow! Why so much? I thought they were getting you an assistant.
A: They were supposed to, but so far nobody’s turned up, and I’m left on my own to do the work. This is the first break I’ve had all day.
B: They’re really running you into the ground. Why don’t you ask for some time off? You could take a long weekend and go away somewhere.

抱怨加班
A:你想象不到谁被选中加班做贝克项目了。我!我已经加了20小时班了。
B:哇!怎么这么长啊?我以为他们要给你派名助手呢!
A:应该是。可是到目前为止还没有人来呢,只剩我一人在做这事。这是我一天来头一次休息。
B:他们对你有点太过分了。你为什么不请几天假呢?你可以到什么地方度一个长周末。

Dave:          Do you think we’ll make it?

戴夫:         你觉得我们会成功吗?
